Each weekend we take a look back on the sporting highs from across Ireland and around the world through the medium of numbers.
13
Unlucky for some but not for the Limerick hurlers who completed a clean sweep of the All Ireland, Allianz League and Munster title with their 13th win from 13 in 2020 on Sunday. An exceptional performance from an exceptional team and one that has dominated the sport through the year.
2,000
The number of temperature checks conducted by the Limerick hurling medical team over the duration of the Championship season. Alongside the more regular statistics of chances converted and points scored, this is one perhaps all others that will bring back memories of the most unusual of seasons.
6
The number of second-half goals scored by Peamount United in securing the Women’s FAI Cup Final. Stephanie Roche got the first two, six years on from being in the Top 3 for FIFA World Goal of the Year, and captain Áine O’Gorman added another as the Dublin side swept to victory over Cork City.
100 Million
The suggested value to each of Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury if the two world Champions were to meet in a unification bout for heavyweight boxing in 2021. Eddie Hearn manages Joshua, as well as our own Katie Taylor and his ninth-round stoppage against Kubrat Pulev on Saturday, has brought the mega-fight one step closer for the New Year.
3,000
The number of cardboard cut out fans in the colours of Limerick and Waterford that were painted by school children as part of a Centra promotion and installed in the Cusack Stand on Saturday night after the conclusion of the Liberty Insurance All Ireland Camogie Final.
13
The number of tries scored by the four Irish provinces in Heineken Champions Cup action over the weekend. Five for Leinster and two for Munster in their wins and three each for Ulster and Connacht in defeats to French opposition.
